Polaramax™ Hero
Our flagship solution for clean, efficient, flexible extraction operations.
Integrated multi-solvent extraction technology allows you to use CO2 alone or CO2 plus a small amount of cosolvent.
NEW! Add a Vitalis Airo™ D-4 system for rapid, continuous, hands-free winterization.
Get automated in-line dewaxing, decoloring, desolvation, and decarboxylation in one system with touchscreen operation.
